Young father innocent of family violence allegations

Our client, a young dad with no prior convictions, came to us with a number of charges including breaching bail, two charges of breaching a Family Violence Restraining Order and aggravated assault occasioning bodily harm. Our client was initially remanded in custody for breaching bail because he had not attended court for his trial. We successfully applied to have him released on bail. Following this, we successfully negotiated with the prosecution to have his breach of bail and breaches of FVRO discontinued. We proceeded to trial on the serious assault charge where our client was acquitted, awarded costs from the prosecution and walked away with no convictions from what commenced as an overwhelming legal situation.
